Description

In 2017, Deven Grey, a young mother, shot and killed her abusive partner in a remote trailer in rural Shelby County, Alabama. She claimed self-defense and filed a Stand Your Ground claim.


Instead of freedom, she was handed a “blind plea” – an option to take an unknown sentence in exchange for pleading guilty. As a Black woman who shot and killed a white man in Alabama, she did the only thing she could: She took the plea. Deven’s sentence became the final link in a chain of deceit, haunted land, generational trauma, false identity, coercive control, and a broken justice system.


Hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Liz Flock, Blind Plea asks: Who do we believe, and why? And in America, who has the right to self defense and a fair trial?

I'm not surprised because Calera PD didn't do a thing to help me when I reported my husband for domestic violence in 2008.

Why do women get involved with these deadbeat losers anyway. Pick a real guy next time.

"Blue-haired grandmother" is a woman of every color, NOT just a white woman. We ALL go grey in the end if we live long enough. That being said, this cop is a POS.

She's definitely no rocket scientologist.

Alexis says that she didn't want to "drive that far" to pick up her boyfriend while he is allegedly being shot at? Is that supposed to be believable?

this is so f*** up Alexis chose to lie in her statement all over a guy who she's now no longer with as if betraying another woman who's been a victim of abuse very obviously, is going to resurrect him and they'll live happily ever after.

I'm sorry but John's mom already sounds hateful to me I'm in tears listening to this because what that poor baby went through I don't think there's no there's any of us they can't really a little bit and his mom sounds like a drink or two she has that kind of voice you know what I'm saying

A point blank gunshot to the back of the head of a sleeping person isn't self-defense, no matter the context. I'm not saying he didn't deserve to die or even that she should be in jail. This case has some similarities to the Gary Plauché shooting, which I felt was a righteous act and a just sentencing. Cases like this are excellent arguments in favor of capital punishment, and a man who terrorizes his woman, such as it seems this man did, makes a great candidate for death. But self-defense this absolutely was not, and no amount of mental gymnastics can make it self-defense.

what more would that asshole cop need to believe Devon? other than the gunshot, what injuries did John have? Who do you believe the woman with tons of injuries and the family or the other woman? It's disgusting.
